<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was actually <i>tempted</i> to post a short comment on my Facebook profile which was going to say:</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Feeling a bit bah-humbug here."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm sure the reason for this "feeling" is because all this busyness can be a bit overwhelming. However, instead of getting on Facebook, I opened my email and received an awesome reminder from my husband's aunt. I've seen this video before, and perhaps some of you have as well. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> Please</span> take the time to listen to it. It will be well worth it, even if you've seen/heard it before. It is such a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">great reminder</span>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Bible instructs us to forgive others as the Lord forgave us:</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one
another if any of you has a grievance against someone. <span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Forgive as the Lord
forgave you. </span> And over all these virtues
put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.</i> Colossians 3:12-14<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Lets face it, forgiving others goes against our nature...we want revenge, justice, restitution, tears of apology, but sometimes even that isn't enough to motivate us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">How does one forgive if we really don't feel like it?</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A choice we make through a decision
of our will, motivated by obedience to God and his </span><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">command</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to forgive. And God <u>will</u> honor our obedience.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The above post still holds the record number of pageviews of <b>any</b> of my posts on my writer's blog. I have no idea why, but when I check the stats, under the keyword search label, "forgiveness quotes" is the highest. That says a lot about the times we live in.

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Matthew 24: 1-44 </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down.”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation, ‘spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m9rlLxRmvfQ/TzROZEqlM9I/AAAAAAAAA9c/vEDZxGEwhgU/s1600/lightning.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m9rlLxRmvfQ/TzROZEqlM9I/AAAAAAAAA9c/vEDZxGEwhgU/s320/lightning.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> “‘the sun will be darkened, </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and the moon will not give its light; </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the stars will fall from the sky, </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be <span style="color: #cc0000;">ready</span>, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Not one...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v7ZWZc-nhrU/Txelzmz0MzI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/-fDb8QlxIOk/s1600/people.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v7ZWZc-nhrU/Txelzmz0MzI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/-fDb8QlxIOk/s1600/people.jpg" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this brings us to what I've had on my mind lately. No matter where you find yourself in this world, no matter what your station in life is, no matter your race, gender or age- God can use you to further His kingdom. Yep-you...and me...and anyone who is willing. You don't have to wait until you are old enough or finished with school, or land the perfect job, or have kids, or have your temper under control, or get married, or become wise, or you are always obedient, or you are brave, or you are strong, or you are fluent in other languages, or you have forgiven anyone who has ever wronged you, or until you are ready to serve...or in other words: qualified. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MmZ7MLztjUk/Txe4I5iZQNI/AAAAAAAAA6o/8SMOdJ8YHYU/s1600/90984185_5CKZA0Up_c_thumb%255B14%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MmZ7MLztjUk/Txe4I5iZQNI/AAAAAAAAA6o/8SMOdJ8YHYU/s1600/90984185_5CKZA0Up_c_thumb%255B14%255D.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure you have heard that quote before...and it's true. If you have accepted the Lord Jesus as your savior - you - are - called. Every single one of us can be used of God. All we have to do is ask Him to lead us. There are millions of ways that God can use us, and for many reasons. But I believe His main purpose is to bring more people into His kingdom: </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth</span>.</b></span></i> <span style="color: #134f5c;">1Timothy 2:3</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you think you have to be perfect before you can be used, think again. See if you can think of one person in the Bible who was perfect, besides Jesus. You won't find one...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jacob was a cheater and a liar, Peter had a temper, was full of pride and then denied Jesus 3 times! David had an affair, and then had his mistress's husband placed on the front lines so that he was killed (murderer?) Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God and some people call him prejudiced, Paul was a murderer: he persecuted Christians, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Esther was fearful, Thomas was a doubter, Elijah was moody and showed lack of faith in God, Moses stuttered - and murdered an Egyptian, Zaccheus was short, Isaiah was a man of unclean lips, Solomon (the wisest man on earth) - showed lack of wisdom! Sarah was impatient, Abraham lied, and Lazarus was dead....</span> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, we have no excuse</span>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpsWF4xG4co/Txe4xaKxF2I/AAAAAAAAA6w/6fSGDQWBAQM/s1600/God-uses-imperfect-people.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpsWF4xG4co/Txe4xaKxF2I/AAAAAAAAA6w/6fSGDQWBAQM/s1600/God-uses-imperfect-people.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our tongues can be used for good or for evil.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Even though it is a small part of the body, our human frailty and our tendency to sin can make it impossible to completely tame. I believe David was aware of this when he prayed: "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Psalm 19:14</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The book of James gives us a few examples of the power of the tongue:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">James 3:3-6 </span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh4vYaQDv4g/TlFKe7dTVPI/AAAAAAAAAkk/qziVUf81g_A/s1600/burning-tongue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh4vYaQDv4g/TlFKe7dTVPI/AAAAAAAAAkk/qziVUf81g_A/s1600/burning-tongue.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:7-8</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The book of Proverbs has many references to the tongue, and to the power of our words:</span><br />

A very busy weekend left me with no time for blogging. (My other blog explains what was happening and has photos to boot!)<br />
<br />
But since I find it difficult to completely ignore my blogs...I shall leave you with a beautiful song that my darling daughter posted on her facebook yesterday.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy it too.<br />
<br />
It's called Starry Night, by Chris August. The pictures are awesome too.<br />
